Last month marked the beginning of what will be a remarkable intergenerational project between my Stetson Shutterbugs and participants at NewCourtland Senior Center in Germantown. This 10-week project will pair each of my students with a senior at the center in a photography-based collaboration whose results will be based on a process of investigation, appreciation, and mutual respect by the participants. This project was made possible by a fellowship from The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA) and NewCourtland. Much more to come!

In November I will be having a two-person show alongside good friend and fellow Light Room member Ranjoo Prasad at the Light Room Gallery, located at 2024 Wallace St. The show is called Two Cultures, and I will feature new work that focuses mainly on the rural village of La Florida, Colombia, whose people are beginning to lose touch with their farming traditions. Ranjoo will be showing work from her last trip to her native India. The opening reception will be Sat. Nov. 5th from 5 – 9PM and there will also be a closing reception on Fri. Dec. 2nd from 5 -9PM.

Hello Internet I'm K.C. This picture is about my little sister on her 7th birthday. My first reason for taking this picture is that she posed for a different camera but I thought it was a bit funny how she was posing and acting fierce, but the second and best reason is that I will never get to see her like that again. She may pose like this again but ne […]

I took this picture because I thought that it was funny because my brother was trying to spin the ball on his finger while we were walking. When I took this picture, it was dark outside and we were coming back from the supermarket. I thought this would be a good picture because my brother is trying to learn something new but it looks like he is going to drop […]

I took this picture because it made me wonder where the kid is and it reminded me of spring. Where is spring? I say that because there is a bike and there is melted snow. It also made me think about snow days and how people go outside with their dirt bikes and four wheelers and they ride in the snow. Look at how bright the snow is compared to the bike and ev […]

I took this picture because this is a woman who is always out on the streets begging for money for drugs and alcohol especially in front of Family Dollar. On this day, it was raining outside and she had the umbrella covering her body. I took this picture because it was cool that she was covering her face from the rain so you can't tell if it is a man or […]
